I volunteered at the Birmingham Museum of Art yesterday. We have a wonderful new exhibit of drawings by Leonardo da Vinci which began today. Wish you all could see it. It reminded me that I had this photo in my archives. This sculpture is an interesting one for sure. It is made entirely of styrofoam cups!! "Untitled" may be the name the artist chose, but visitors I overheard described it as " a brain, coral, and a wasp's nest". The artist is Tara Donovan and employees and volunteers at the museum actually hotglued the tens of thousands of cups together for this piece. I like the way the trees outside reflected this nice soft green tint. Maybe styrofoam can "go green". (Yeah - right.)
The Tune du Jour is "Paper Cup" by the wonderful Fifth Dimension.
Can you believe I found a song for this post???
